Harris says, 'It's time to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms'

At the top of her speech at the Ellipse Tuesday, Harris took shots at former President Donald Trump's recent rhetoric, specifically invoking his "enemy from within" comment.

"This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power. Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other," Harris said.

"That is who he is, but America, I am here tonight to say, that is not who we are. That is not who we are," Harris added.

The vice president went on to call for unity across the nation.

"We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms. It is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division. It is time for a new generation of leadership in America," Harris said.

Harris' backdrop on Tuesday is the office she hopes to hold

The backdrop to Harris' closing argument speech on Tuesday will be the office she hopes to hold: The White House.

The event is thick with symbolism. Held on The Ellipse, the park just south of the White House, the event will represent Harris' clearest attempt to show why she deserves to be the person sitting in the Oval Office next year. The site of the speech also harkens back to the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol: It is where Trump gave a speech filled with lies about the election immediately beforehand.

Harris specifically mentioned in interviews before her remarks on Tuesday that the backdrop was picked to help voters envision having her in the Oval Office instead of Trump.

People attending the event have been standing in line for hours and are now waiting for Harris to take the stage. The back of the stage is lined with American flags, and large signs that read "Freedom" in block letters flank the set-up.

Transition teams met with both candidates' reps: Sources

Federal agency transition members met with representatives from both the Harris and Trump campaigns, sources with knowledge of the meetings confirmed to ABC News.

Up until now, the Trump team has been very reticent to conduct any formal meetings with Biden White House staff and had blown past ethics and funding agreement deadlines.

A spokesperson for the White House confirmed the meeting, which took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

"The ATDC has been meeting regularly for months to prepare for a transition, and the meeting this week included representatives from both transition teams," the spokesperson said in a statement. "The meeting focused on post-election readiness to ensure agencies and the transition teams are ready to execute responsibly and efficiently."
